Sobre este título

Brought to you by Penguin.

Unleash the dark and delirious with this electrifying anthology of folk horror from some of Britain's most iconic working-class voices

A phonograph cylinder that plays on a loop for eternity, casting out ghostly spectres of violence; a centuries-old stew made of severed body parts; a bigoted woman working at an ossuary, the bones she watches over her only remaining friends; three siblings who set out to scatter their father's ashes, a man none of them could stand; and a hag stone sitting in the pocket of a witch.

Uncanny and unsettling, wild and wyrd, the ten stories in this collection showcase the best of folk horror. Set in and across England, they celebrate working-class culture and history, and, sharp as a guillotine blade, reveal the real monsters that stalk our green and pleasant land.

Includes writing from: A.K. Blakemore, Daniel Draper, Emma Glass, Mark Colbourne, Mark Stafford, Hollie Starling, Jenn Ashworth, Natasha Carthew, Salena Godden and Tom Benn.

Resumo da Crítica

A masterful collection that captures the raw, unsettling essence of folk horror and its working-class roots (MAXINE PEAKE)
The working class understand horror, often sharing its postcode. They know about crossed knives on the tea-table, and hagstones, and the people in the puddles. Bog People is a thrilling cache of unearthed diamonds, black, brilliant and beautifully cut, none of them rough, born of the lower strata where the pressures are greater. Astonishing and long overdue, you really need to read this (ALAN MOORE)
Where the collection excels is the winding path it takes through horror, folklore and the gothic; through families, oral history and grief… the collection remains an urgent reminder that this form and genre must be nurtured
Folk horror at its most feral and furious. Just as it should be (CHARLIE COOPER)
An absolute treat - a giddy tumble into wild and diverse British folk-horror. This feels like the countryside of my childhood, before every thatched cottage had a Mercedes in the driveway. It's raw, earthy (in every sense of the word) and darkly fun - you'll come away with dirt under your nails and woodlice in your hair (ADAM S LESLIE, author of Lost in the Garden)
This collection is everything folk tales and folk horror should be. It's angry, disturbing, and shines a light on the obvious problems in society that mainstream media continues to ignore (TABITHA STANMORE, author of Cunning Folk)
Deeply unsettling and totally radical it tells of the horrors of our age in complex and haunting ways that will stay with the reader long into the future (LALLY MACBETH, author of The Lost Folk)
A brilliant and eclectic collection of tales that illuminated all the darkest corners of my mind. I’m thrilled Bog People has lead me to find a selection of my new favourite writers (KIRI PRITCHARD-MCLEAN)
An anthology that is ambitious, entertaining and full of surprises… Not one of the book’s 10 tales is a disappointment, and several are exceptional in terms of originality and impact
